Three Waters Foundation - Mission

Three Waters Foundation (TWF) is a non-profit dedicated to cleaning up Lake Huron, Georgian Bay and the North Channel. Our focus is on removing anthropogenic debris from remote islands and exposed coastlines where plastic, foam and other contaminants are accumulating, posing threats to ecosystems–in particular to nesting birds and spawning areas used by native fish, reptiles and amphibians. We help raise awareness of the impacts of anthropogenic contamination through cleanup and research expeditions, partnerships, art and community engagement.

TWF is a journey toward solutions to protect our water, braiding the Indigenous Way of Knowing with Western scientific analysis. 

We recognize the Chippewas of Kettle and Stoney Point, Nayaashiinigmiing and Saugeen (collectively known as Saugeen Ojibway Nation); the Beausoleil, Moose Deer Point,Wasauksing, Shawanaga, Magnetawan, Henvey Inlet, Whitefish River, Sagamok Anishinabek, Serpent River, Wikwemikong, Sheguindah, Aundek Omni Kaning, M’Chigeeng, Sheshegwaning, Zhiibaahasiing, Thessalon and Garden River First Nations; the Métis communities within the Lake Huron region; and the Bay Mills Indian Community, Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians and the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe. TWF is devoted to learning and to reconciliation while fulfilling our part in the shared responsibility to protect and care for Gichi-Aazhoogami-Gichigami—the 'Crosswater Seas.'

For the love of the Lake.
